Major boost for Lynch as he secures two new rides

GERMAN-BASED Tipperary show jumper Denis Lynch continues to strengthen his team, acquiring the ride on two new horses.

His sponsor Thomas Straumann has purchased Nabab’s Son, which was formerly ridden by Germany’s Ludger Beerbaum and latterly by Marco Kutscher, who placed fourth in the grand prix at Olympia in December and sixth in the grand prix at the Geneva World Cup show the same month.

Nabab’s Son is a 10-year-old Belgian warmblood gelding by Nabab de Rêve. Also joining Lynch at his Münster set-up is Shamrock. By South Pacific, this nine-year-old Holstein stallion was formerly owned by Athina Onassis de Miranda and ridden by her Brazilian husband Alvaro Miranda.
